Colt Collins '16 Recruiting Profile

I started playing football when I was 6 years old, and it quickly became my passion and my goal. When considering college options, I've always wanted it to include football, because I knew I wanted to play this game as far as my ability and hard work will take me.

Improvement in all aspects of the game is my priority. I seek every opportunity to grow physically and mentally, whether it be working in the weight room, throwing routes or studying film and plays. I earned a spot as captain my first year on varsity because of my leadership skills on and off the field. I have a knack for motivating my teammates because I lead by example.

Academically, I'm in the top 15 percent of my class and maintain a high GPA, all while taking a well-rounded course load, including honors courses. I like a challenge. I work on the yearbook staff as a photographer and page designer, and I'm also a mentor to younger kids through the PALs program.

I plan to attend college where I can get a quality education and push myself on the football field. I am open to all options in hopes of finding the right fit for college, as well as my football career. I am pursuing the highest level of competition based on playing to the best of my ability. I am a player that will listen to direction from coaches, as well as teammates. This combination makes me an asset to the team.
